You know a health smile is important, whether you’re talking about your teeth and gums or your overall health.  As important as regular dental visits are, though, anxiety keeps some patients from even coming in for a regular checkup and cleaning.

What’s the cause of this anxiety?

For some, it could be related to a past visit, while for others it could be related to a sensitive gag reflex or a neuromuscular condition that makes sitting uncomfortable.

No matter which of these it might be, our doctors at Grand Dental El Reno can help you achieve the healthier smile you deserve with sedation dentistry.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Using safe and effective means, sedation dentistry helps us create a relaxed sense of calm in El Reno-area patients who struggle with anxiety.

There are three types of sedation dentistry—nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation. As effective as each one is, not every type is right for every patient. For patients with mild to moderate anxiety, nitrous oxide and oral sedation may be the best choice. For patients with moderate to severe anxiety, though, IV sedation may be what you’re looking for. Working with trained anesthesiologists, we can help our El Reno patients achieve a deep sense of calm to help you receive the dental care you need. Every anesthesiologist we work with is certified and will with you during your procedure to monitor your vital signs and ensure your safety as your doctor helps you.
